Help - sonnet

We have to write a sonnet with Iambic Pentameter in English and I'm horrible with the stressed and unstressed syllables, please help me.

Each one is an adventure for your joy,
To travel the world and go unseen places.
These take you back to when you were a boy,
When our wild imagination embraces
The land around and makes a get-away.
It is like magic, the way it unfolds
and turning the hours, passing the day,
By keeping you absorbed, for days untold.
You can sail with pirates on the high seas,
Or solve a hard mystery of murder,
Maybe save a damsel from sorceries,
Or travel with a simple sheep herder.
These tales have been written for everyone;
more than a book, the learning just begun.

Please help me with the stressed and unstressed syllables.
